Green Investment Practitioner —Zhongping Capital ESG Overview（July 2025）

• Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—have powered unprecedented economic growth and reshaped human civilization. Yet the overreliance on these resources has exposed mounting challenges such as environmental degradation and resource depletion. The 2015 Paris Agreement marked a historic global consensus on climate governance, but recent years have seen renewed uncertainty: geopolitical tensions, disrupted energy supply chains, intensified competition over critical minerals, and escalating disputes over technology standards and trade rules—all complicating the path to sustainable development.
• In this shifting global landscape, China has taken bold action. In 2020, the country pledged its "dual carbon" goals, aligning green, low-carbon transformation with high-quality economic growth. This strategic vision reflects both the imperatives of ecological civilization and the demands of technological innovation and talent development.
• As 2025 unfolds at a critical turning point, geopolitical dynamics and evolving ESG investment rules are reshaping global regulatory frameworks. In response, Zhongping Capital has deeply embedded ESG principles into its corporate strategy and investment processes. Through forward-looking investments in low-carbon sectors and active ESG engagement, the firm helps portfolio companies strengthen governance, build resilience to geopolitical risks, and seize opportunities amid supply chain and technological shifts. In doing so, Zhongping Capital contributes to China’s high-quality development while advancing global sustainable development goals.
